Fords in Four:
Dr. Craig LaForce '64
Founder and Medical Director, North Carolina Clinical Research
1. Can you recall a memorable Haverford experience?
The most enduring memory I have was helping to put together Haverford's first official garage band. One Friday evening after Glee Club rehearsal, Jon Dyer, Steve Stack, Norm Greenough and I brought two electric guitars, a tenor sax, and a trap set to the Lower School auditorium -- and Los Perdidos was born. We became legends in our own eyes as the only band on the Main Line for quite a while. We soon added classmates Jim Blunt and Don Wilkins. Various iterations of the band continued to play regularly along the Main Line and up and down the New Jersey coast. We even continued throughout college vacations and summer breaks. Our final gig was at the Radnor Hunt Club -- in 2010! 
2. How do you continue to stay involved with the Haverford community?  
I have made it a point to stay connected with the Haverford community for the past 52 years, despite the fact that I have not lived in Philadelphia since the early 1970s. I continued playing with Los Perdidos through college before moving back to Philadelphia for medical school. I continue to be in touch fairly regularly with about a third of my classmates and have been involved with class reunions and alumni giving.

I think we all like to feel connected to something, and that for me turned out to be Haverford. I don't think I knew it at the time, but my most rewarding relationships (aside from family) in my life were made during that very brief period of time between 1956 and 1964. I feel very fortunate in that regard.
